Don’tAssume–PerSessionBuffers

MySQL has a number of global buffers, i.e. your SGA. There are also a number of per session/thread buffers that combined with other memory usage constitutes an unbounded PGA. One of the most common errors in mis-configured MySQL environments is the setting of the 4 primary per session buffers thinking they are global buffers.

Global buffers include:

key_buffer_size – For MyISAM Indexes (note you can define multiple key_buffer’s The MyISAM Key Cache)

innodb_buffer_pool_size – For Innodb Table/Indexs

innodb_additional_mem_pool_size – Innodb additional data dictionary data

query_cache_size – The MySQL Query Cache

The four important per session buffers are:

read_buffer_size

read_rnd_buffer_size

sort_buffer_size

join_buffer_size

I have seen people see these values > 5M. The defaults range from 128K to 256K. My advice for any values above 256K is simple. What proof do you have this works better? When nothing is forthcoming, the first move is to revert to defaults or a maximum of 256K for some benchmarkable results. The primary reason for this is MySQL internally as quoted by Monty Taylor – for values > 256K, it uses mmap() instead of malloc() for memory allocation.

These are not all the per session buffers you need to be aware of. Others include thread_stack, max_allowed_packet,binlog_cache_size and most importantly max_connections.

MySQL also uses memory in other areas most noticeably in internal temporary tables and MEMORY based tables.

As I mentioned, there is no bound for the total process memory allocation for MySQL, so some incorrectly configured variables can easily blow your memory usage.
